A fidget cube life story
I'm not entirely sure if THIS is where I'm supposed to put product reviews, but I guess I will anyways. (Frankly there isn't really a service to review? It's pretty standard order and shipping) So instead I wanna talk about products. I've bought a couple fidget cubes now. The first one was my very first fidget toy I've ever had, back in middle school. A reward from my parents for reading an entire book of scriptures. (Something I absolutely hated as a child because, while I believe in the church, reading scriptures is hell on my ADHD) However I lost my first fidget cube about halfway through my 8th grade school year. I'm 21 now, and it's been almost ten years. I decided to buy a new one because I have my own money now. The limited edition ones claim to be exactly like the original ones they sold. Which was ideal for me, because I wanted one like the one I had. Upon arrival, the limited edition one I bought was exactly how I remembered. I absolutely love it! Though the same cannot be said for the other one. You see I bought two types of fidget cubes, recently. The orange limited edition one (sunset? I believe is what it's called) and another one. Pink is my favorite color so I bought the "Hyper pink" one. I don't think it's an inherently bad product, but I will say two negative things about it. 1: the color is not nearly as vibrant as it appears in the photo. It's more of a magenta color than neon pink. 2: It has a texture. The cube is sparkly, which means it has a slight texture difference compared to the smooth texture of the other cube. As someone with pretty severe ADHD, the texture difference was upsetting :( I ended up giving the Hyper Pink one to my friend, because they weren't bothered by the texture the way I was. Because these are marketed towards people with ADHD and Autism, as those are the people usually looking for 'fidget toys' I would appreciate if the site gave a warning for when the cubes are differently textured than the standard ones. Or even just put something in the title to indicate that. Because, while not everyone with ADHD is sensitive to different textures, a lot of us are, and it would be nice to know before hand, especially because not all sparkly plastic has a texture like that. Don't get me wrong, this is a product I believe in, and support. And it made me very happy as an overwhelmed middle schooler with ADHD. It still makes me very happy now, and I would definitely recommend it to people looking for fidget toys. Though I don't understand why the original line is limited edition, and why they felt the need to change it in the first place. (Not for the better in my limited experience) That's not just about the glitter texture. My friend got a fidget cube after me, and I remember not liking it as much as my own, so I figure that must be after they changed something. Though I suppose I don't know for sure. I love my fidget cube. Thanks for making something that helps me cope with life.
